The Zebra NC-0.5 is an emulsion ink refill. It’s the stock ink cartridge in the Zebra Blen. It is sometimes called the RNC5 refill, more specifically as the RNC5-BK for black, RNC5-BL for blue, and the RNC5-R for red.
“Emulsion” ink is not a standard ink type that the industry recognizes, but Zebra calls it a ballpoint in most of their descriptions. Given how it writes and what we know about the ink, Unsharpen classifies modern ballpoint inks like this as a hybrid ink.
The NC-0.5 is the 0.5 mm size of this refill. It’s also sold in 0.7 mm.
